UI Cancels Summer Music Camps

IOWA CITY (CBS 2/FOX 28) - The University of Iowa says summer music camps scheduled to take place June 9-28 have been cancelled because of the current flood threat.

The camps are held each summer by the University of Iowa School of Music. However, many of the buildings were the camps are held were evacuated earlier this week under the threat of flooding from the Iowa River.

The camps included Band and Orchestra Camp June 9-14, Total Percussion and Piano Camp June 16-21 and Jazz Camp June 23-28.

All were scheduled to be held in the Music West and Art Building West, both of which - along with the UI Theatre Building - were closed this past week.

Registered campers who paid in advance, the University says, will receive a full refund.
